I tried this to see what would happen and I wasn't happy with the
result. That's not a problem, you have to try things I think.
Anyay, 2 things...
1) It changed *all* of my mail folders instead of just the one I was
in.
2) When I tried to change back I had to do it a folder at a time.
Not moaning... just info. I'm running Office 2000 with WXP home.
Regards
Lisa
